Chapter 287 Banshu
Yang Yinglong had seventeen cars, and the thirteen cars were all Li Dan's things.

Long and short bird guns, Li Dan and his party had a total of seven people, but they brought a total of seventeen rods, seven long, seven short, and three spare; seventeen grenades, and six arrows of Nanyang's new general flag, which they used when they encountered bandits on the road. result.

Because Li Dan and others had no official status and could only carry knives around their waists, all firearms were packed in Yang Yinglong's carriage.

Except for the firearms and a large potted plant with sweet potato seedlings in the carriage, the rest are the treasures and rare things that Li Dan himself and Lin Afeng entrusted him to present to Chen Mu.

These things are the reason why Yang Yinglong brought so many chariots and so many Miao warriors escorting them.

They all walked in separate groups on the road, even Yang Yinglong, who was not afraid of the earth and the earth, was afraid that the big tree would attract the wind and cause trouble.

Chen Mu asked Deng Zilong to take a peek at Yang Yinglong who was practicing with the soldiers, and ordered Long Junxiong to take the Miao soldiers and sailors down to rest, and to bring a few people into the General Zhenshuo's mansion.

Yang Yinglong turned his head and raised his eyebrows to look at the school grounds until he was about to enter the mansion. Chen Mu didn't know how his soldiers could be so attractive to Yang Yinglong before. Seeing that you like military affairs so much, don't drink tea, why don't I send someone to fetch mountain spring water for you?"

"Don't bother the general, my father has an order, the capital is no better than the south, and we can't have that posture."

This year, people have changed, Li Dan is more aggressive, and Yang Yinglong's visit to Xuanfu this time made Chen Mu feel that he is much more sensible.Apparently, Yang Yinglong himself is also very smart, knowing that he can't make publicity in the capital, because what people here see is not his publicity, but the arrogance of the Yang family in Bozhou.

Speaking of this, Yang Yinglong smiled, and cupped his hands to Chen Mu and said: "The general is on the nine sides, and the Yang family is also deeply honored. If Bozhou is not fighting now, the family still has a big gift for the general!"

"Bashu, is there a war?"

Chen Mu and Deng Zilong looked at each other, they had never heard of this.

"Didn't the general hear that? That's right. How could the court care about the barbarian land and the barbarians attacking each other. It's the An family in Shuixi, Guizhou. It was originally a small matter of the same clan attacking each other. The local ministers wanted to favor each other, so they did it." It became An Guoheng's rebellion, and sent troops to fight several times, so the imperial court's army came to attack, and no one was allowed to fight back?"

Speaking of An Guoheng, Yang Yinglong's tone was not kind, but he also felt sorry for him, saying: "My father and An Guoheng's uncle, An Wanquan, have fought against each other for more than ten years, and even his An family's heart is only focused on the Shuixi area, and An Guoheng is even more concerned about it. If I want to be a consolation envoy, I have no other ideas, even I, Yang, would not take this opportunity to attack An."

Chen Mu nodded. The Ming Dynasty had always focused on the northern border, and had almost let go of Sichuan and Guizhou.

Therefore, Yang Yinglong's words alone made Chen Mu believe it, and asked: "Then Yang's now?"

"Let the soldiers surround you. An Guoheng didn't want to rebel in the first place. What he wanted to fight was his uncle, not us, let alone the imperial army." Yang Yinglong spread his hands and said with a rascal smile: "Anyway, my father has After resigning, I was ordered to enter the Imperial College, and no one cares about the matter of Bozhou, and no one can blame us."

"The days of freedom are over!"

Yang Yinglong laughed at himself and said flirtatiously: "I really envy the general. The Japanese pirates in Nanping and the Tatars in the north have the talent to make achievements everywhere. My younger brother can only be confined in Bozhou, marry the Tian family, and marry the Tian family. An's and Song's fight to the end!"

The boy's hostile target is very clear!
Chen Mu smiled, and said: "It's not that sad. The four major chieftains are united, and the Yang family has been rich for 700 years. Do you still think there is something wrong?"

"It's definitely good. It's the fuchens in the Sichuan-Guizhou area. It's very annoying to watch." Yang Yinglong is not old, but there is no trace of sternness in his solemn brows. Du, we have to rely on our Xuanwei Division for military and agricultural affairs, and we need food every year, but when we suppress rebellion, we have to send our people to catch the sword and die."

"Even so, the etiquette of speaking is still superior to others, as if we are their slaves. Studying in the Imperial College is probably the happiest time in my life!"

Chen Mu remained silent. This feeling of seeing old age at the age of three is difficult to express in others, but it is not surprising that it appears in Yang Yinglong.As he said, if everything develops normally, when he returns to Bozhou after studying at the Imperial College, his life should be like those of his ancestors who did not have the slightest magnificence.

I will never leave Banshu again.

Chen Mu hadn't figured out how to comfort and persuade, Yang Yinglong suddenly laughed out loud, waved his hands and said: "No, the most enjoyable time is to go out to sea on the general's boat!"

Said Yang Yinglong clasped his fists and said: "General, please don't blame others. After the boat was built, Japanese pirates attacked Leizhou and called the general's big boat. The younger brother also went to Leizhou with the army, and won a big victory."

"Warships are born to fight. It's not surprising to call them. Chen has never seen them before. What does my ship look like? Is it majestic?"

As Chen Mu said, he turned his head to look at Li Dan. Regarding the naval battle, Yang Yinglong was at most a fancier. If he could know anything, he had better ask his adopted son.

Li Dan clasped his fists and nodded very cautiously, and said to Chen Mu: "Return to adoptive father, my son has never seen such a big boat in Fanyi, Lusong, it is extremely powerful!"

"It's useless!" Chen Mu was not happy when he heard how big the ship was, and asked, "How many floors, how many crews, how many gun positions?"

Li Dan hurriedly picked out what Chen Mu wanted to hear and said, "The captain is fifteen feet and seven feet, counting four floors at the bow and stern. For the bow and stern of the ship, order one 24-jin gun and two [-]-jin guns, and another [-] Francophones to go up and down the forecastle and stern.”

"It can carry three hundred soldiers, and if another grain ship is prepared, it can carry seven hundred. The ship is still in the shape of a shark ship. Today, the Nanyang Weisha ship is divided into 270 material single-masted fast boats, 580 material two-masted warships, and [-] material for the father-in-law. Three-masted general ship with eight hundred materials." Li Dan said with a smile, "However, General Chen can't afford to build this general's ship, and General Bai doesn't want to build it."

This ship sounds very majestic, and it is also very powerful in fighting, but the cost performance is not high, because there is no opponent in Nanyang that can match it.

"If this ship goes to war in the future, it cannot go out alone. At least four [-]-material warships and twelve [-]-material fast boats will go together. In this way, six Dafu ships will be needed as grain ships and horse ships."

Li Dan clashed his fists and said, "Father, listen to what Commander Bai said, and General Chen also said the same!"

This General Chen was not talking about Chen Mu, but Chen Lin.

"Naturally, my brother-in-law is an expert in naval warfare."

Although Chen Mu was praising Chen Lin, but his face was juxtaposed with complacency, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Come on, tell Chen Mou, what you saw and heard in Luzon, and the two things you just said What happened to the ten-jin cannon..."
